The impact and potential of disruptive technologies in healthcare management
International Healthcare Week 2020 will be a forum for professionals and researchers in the areas of management, engineering and healthcare to exchange knowledge and discuss cutting-edge developments in health systems management and engineering of health. The event will take place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from July 3rd-8th, 2020.
International Healthcare Week 2020 will kick-off with an Academic Day on July 3rd, 2020, which will be reserved for presentations of academic research related to the impact and potential of disruptive technologies in healthcare management. The Academic Day aims to provide researchers from different fields (managers, engineers, clinicians) with an opportunity to exchange information and new ideas, and to discuss new developments in technology and their impact in healthcare management. It will be a constructive environment to leverage ongoing research, in addition to representing an opportunity to unite and consolidate an international research network.
Those interested in participating in the Academic Day must submit an extended abstract in advance, according to the instructions in this call. Following peer review, accepted abstracts will be eligible for presentation to a panel of Brazilian and foreign professors at the Academic Day. Presenters will receive feedback to assist the development of their research. The Latin American Business Review supports International Healthcare Week 2020 and offers the opportunity of fast track for the two best presentations in the Academic Day. Selected abstracts will be asked to submit an academic article (following LABR’s guidelines) by October, 30th 2020. Please direct any inquiries about the academic day to: cess@coppead.ufrj.br.
